2016
Date: September 11, 2016
Location: Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, Virginia
Commentators: John Bradshaw Layfield, Mauro Ranallo, David Otunga
Pre-Show: Apollo Crews vs. Baron Corbin
We open with a text crawl about September 11 and what it means for our freedom. Nothing wrong with this whatsoever and you knew it was coming.
Opening video of Shane McMahon talking about how this is the new vision and a new era, including new champions being crowned for the first time.
Becky gets promo time post match and we get the WAY overused “you deserve it” chant.
Miz yells at a kid from Nickelodeon, who offers Miz a spot on his show. “Unless you can get John Cena instead.”
Usos vs. Hype Bros
Intercontinental Title: The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler
The pre-show panel has a chat.
Bray Wyatt vs. Kane
Smackdown Tag Team Titles: Usos vs. Rhyno/Heath Slater
Slater fights up and we get the double cross body spot to set up the hot tag. Rhyno comes in (to a very nice reaction) but misses the Gore. Heath tags himself back in and hits a neckbreaker on both twins, followed by a DDT for two on Jimmy. The superkick nails Heath but Rhyno hits the Gore to give Slater the pin at 9:57.
Miz vs. Ziggler chicken deal.
Smackdown World Title: Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles
Dean is defending. Feeling out process to start with Dean being driven into the ropes. AJ: “I OWN YOU!” A forearm puts a seated Dean down again but he comes back with his awkward slugging, followed by a backdrop to send AJ outside. The suicide dive is broken up though and AJ starts in on the neck before going with the drop down into the dropkick.
